Asus to launch Zenfone smartphones in India on July 9: Report (Update)

Asus is planning to launch its Zenfone line-up of smartphones in the Indian market next month, reports The Times of India citing unnamed sources. According to the publication, the smartphones will debut in the country on July 9 and will be the first smartphones from Asus since the debut of original Padfone in the country.

While the July launch of Zenfone smartphones seems plausible, given TOI’s past track record, we are a little sceptical and will suggest you to take this with a pinch of salt.

Update: Thanks to the import data from Zauba, we can now confirm that Asus is not releasing the upgraded Zenfone 4 or 5, which were introduced at Computex, in India. We will also be not getting the same Zenfone smartphones that were unveiled at CES this year. The company has made some changes to specifications of both the phones and you can check out the full specifications of the Indian variants below. The import information also indicates that Zenfone 4 will get a pricing similar to Moto E and Zenfone 5 will be sold for a price-tag around Moto G 8GB.
